Steelhead Falls
A short waterfall trail in the Deschutes River canyon, flanked by basalt cliffs. In summer, locals swim and dive here.
Steelhead Falls lies in the Deschutes River canyon near Terrebonne and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. It is about 800 meters downhill from the parking lot to the falls. They drop roughly 6 meters, with plenty of water and impressive force, and are surrounded by layered basalt cliffs. In summer, locals swim and dive near the falls, so watch the currents and stay safe. Admission is free, and it can be combined with Smith Rock on the same day.
